About this listen
This week, Jess and Jonesy sit down with Nicole Cloud—a nurse, a mom, and a mental health warrior—to talk about what it's really like behind the scenes in healthcare. From overnight shifts and pandemic trauma to finding moments of peace and grounding (literally), Nicole gets real about burnout, boundaries, and the small rituals that help her stay afloat. This isn’t just about nurses. It’s about how we take care of ourselves while showing up for everyone else.
Show Notes
In this episode:
Nicole's journey into nursing and what kept her going
The emotional toll of healthcare work, especially during COVID
Secondary trauma and how it shows up (and sticks around)
Coping strategies Nicole swears by: working out, talking it out, touching grass
Real talk on intrusive thoughts, burnout, and crying in hospital bathrooms
Support systems that make all the difference—from coworkers to community gyms
Why some patients are just... the worst (boomers, we’re looking at you)
The power of being honest about how you feel—even when it’s messy
Plus: The gang debates pediatricians, primary care, and whether or not you should still be seeing your childhood doctor at 23 (spoiler: probably not).
